I have lumps on my shins that for years I have considered to be varicose veins. Recently though I have developed a lipoma on my forehead which makes me question if that's what's on my shins as they look and feel identical. No pain, itching or discoloration, just soft lumps. I would like very much to have them removed, veins, lipomas or whatever they are. Thank you, -G.
